I still don't really think the anime is canon, considering it was a commissioned project by an outside source. Take a look at the inconsistincies with the Last Order OVA made by MadHouse and what actually happened in Final Fantasy VII. The anime being a gift for contest winners doesn't mean anything either, because it's to promote the anime itself, and the DMC franchise.

The book may just as well have plenty of the author's interpretations of the facts in it as well, even if he did pen the script for DMC4. Just because he may have been lead writer on the game doesn't mean much when you're part of an entire development team. Kazushige Nojima wrote most of the Final Fantasy games, but he's not the sole authority on them because he was solidifying a concept developed by a team. The same could be said in regards to any of the DMC novels, regardless of who wrote them.

And telling people to play DMC4 again instead of actually listing what hints are given in it does not hold up your end of the argument. Give us those hints so we can understand as well.
